Psychology - March 2007

I am a student of BCS and used to teach computer programming, designing and database development. I could speak frankly without any hesitation. Now I don't know what happened to me. I suddenly lost my confidence to speak in front of people. My heart sinks down and it begins to beat rapidly and my tongue stuck. All this is driving me crazy. Please explain why it happens and how to prevent it. bcoz it will destroy all my hopes for a future career.

They want to break a wrist to FORCE themselves to become ambidextrous. What do you think of this?

Anyone ever invite a hypnotist to perform at a house party? I'm curious about what happens. I've heard it's hilarious.

My quest online lately has been to find out information about myself on schizoids in general as I have indirectly related problems due to it. I found out my wife is a cutter. I have a REALLY hard time comforting her because in my mind if its bad for you dont do it. Kinda simple. But people that perform self injury from what I gather do it as a way of release, like a big stupid jock punching a hole in the wall :) But anyway, she has been doing it since she was a kid and I try to comfort her but I really come off insincere.....partly because I am, I can say whatever I want, she know s how I think. So....I sent her to a therapist/psychologist. She went for a month or two got meds seemed to be feeling and doing better. Then the asshole stopped returning her calls....I hate greedy people, he didnt like her or she wasnt needy enough but he cut her off and now she does not have meds again. She asks me for comfort and such....which on my end is really hard to do...IDEAS??

By principle I mean something along the lines of "gratitude" or "helping others"....but feel free to include stuff like "getting my mind off things by listening to music", "walking in the park to feel connected to my spiritual side"
etc.
I'm trying to help some folks and have hit the point of "writers block"
Thanks for any inspiration
Be well

I'm just curious, because some how I hate the idea of sex, I wish sex could be simple as sneezing or coughing, so people won't make a big deal out of it.

In my daughter's best friend's family the Grandpa committed suicide Thursday, but this brings the subject up in our household also (kids talk). My mother is diagnosed with a terminal cancer and it won't be long until I have to address this directly with my daughter. She is 6 years old. Recommendations?

Do you feel sympathy toward men as they are trapped in a world where they feel that they cannot express themselves emotionally to one another and instead feel that they must hide behind a mask of 'toughness'?

in the first one, i'm in a Wendy's restaurant parking lot w/my mom, and a beautiful white tailed buck comes running by us. my mom subdues it by cutting off one of its antlers, and she tells me to slit it's throat if i want to be a hunter, that it's the humane thing to do. the deer is looking at me w/fear in its eyes, panting heavily.i slit its throat, and it dies. when i look back, my mom is gone, and the deer is nothing but decaying guts. in the second dream, i'm at my grandma's house, and we're outside. there are deer grazing across the creek from us. i take aim and shoot one, but it just hits a glancing blow. i never can get across the creek to get it, try as i might, bc trees are in the way on the other side. what do these dreams mean?

One of my most crippling and shameful flaws is jealousy. It's an evil feeling, it's frightfully close to how hatred feels like, it tortures me, and yet there doesn't seem to be a remedy. The triggers of my jealousy are mainly limited to two things... having a friend I love who has a BEST friend who isn't me, and someone whose artistic talent is better than mine. I've tried numerous things, including telling myself that the having isn't nearly so fine as the wanting, and that I need to learn how to be happy with whatever blessings I have right now. But again... it all fades, and I am left once again with these burning possessive desires that consume my thoughts and even my heart.

I'd love to be free of this, and be a proper, grateful and humble person. My question is this... is there a way? A cure?

I'm beginning to see a disturbing pattern emerge in
the jobs that I have worked -- any job, retail or
otherwise. I start a new job filled with energy and
enthusiasm, and work very, very hard (sometimes to the
point of physical exhaustion). By about the end of the
first week, however, and especially with retail and
sales jobs like food running, I begin to make hand-eye
coordination mistakes such as (for example) spilling
an entire 10+ gallon container of iced tea on the
floor as I take it to the elevator in the kitchen to
send downstairs. Or yesterday, when balancing three
plates on my right arm and hands (as they require), I
attempt to hand a woman her plate of grilled shrimp as
she also attempts to take it from me and it spills all
over her. These aren't mistakes I am doing because I
cannot physically hold a plate -- these are mistakes
that seem to happen when I begin to become exhausted
physically.

Is it normal for someone to be...I don't know how to word this... attached to a teacher (and not in any inappropriate manner) but to the point where if another student is favored, they feel a little negative about that? I tell myself (I'm 18 and this person 40ish if age matters) that it makes no difference, move on, forget about it, so I try to move on and make myself believe it doesn't matter, but that attachment-like feeling keeps coming back.
I don't know why it's this particular person, but does anyone have advice on how to detach from someone?
What gets you attached in the first place :-/ ?

And what do you associate with your childhood (eg. specific action figures, certain tv shows, certain playground games, fads, etc.)

This is something that I have a problem. Unless you're a descendent of royality and your last name is associated to some type of legacy, I really don't think you should hyphenate your last name. To me, its like that you're scared to let go or something. Or by changing your last name is changing who you are. I know that this seems pity but this is one of the many things that irks the hell out of me about people.

How can marriage be a union (whole) and you have a hyphenated name. I know there's other factors that make up relationships; but if you agree to marry someone then you're united as one right?

What are some of ur dreams that always seem to keep coming back? For me it's either a dream where I fall out of a rollar coaster, or one with me about to get in a really bad car accident-then I wake up right when the crash first happens. My brother said he has one about his teeth breaking and falling apart inside his mouth while he is sleeping. Then he starts chooking on his blood. Pretty crazy huh?Thanks for ur answers!!!

So. I wouldn't call it depression, but I constantly find myself feeling really down in the dumps about the fact that no matter how hard I try, there is always someone better than me.

I guess it doesn't help that my best friend is a freaking genius, and no matter how hard I try, she always gets better grades than me because the stuff just comes naturally easy to her. For me it takes lots of studying and trying to understand. I know I sound like some competative freak, but seriously...I haven't ever been THE BEST at something. Believe me..I've tried really hard.

These thoughts are beginning to take over my life and I'm not sure what I should do.
